General Coaching and Service Terms
To keep these terms as simple as possible, here are the key points. The full legal text can be found on the following pages.
- When we agree and confirm arrangements, we have entered into a contract. Prices listed on the website or in personal offers apply. For seminars, workshops, or “presentation days,” the price at the time of registration applies.
- I commit to effort, not results, as outcomes depend on various factors. I will do my best to achieve the desired result.
- I am not liable for any events resulting from my (online) coaching, courses, or training. Participants are responsible for their actions and behavior.
- For personal coaching, the following cancellation periods apply: a. Cancellation up to 5 business days in advance: no cost. b. Cancellation up to 2 business days in advance: 33% of the cost. c. Cancellation within 48 hours: 100% of the cost.
- For seminars, workshops, or “presentation days,” the following apply: a. Cancellation 4 weeks in advance: no cost. b. Cancellation up to 1 week in advance: 50% of the cost. c. Cancellation within 1 week: 100% of the cost.
- For in-house training, the following apply: a. Cancellation up to 4 weeks in advance: 10% of the quoted price. b. Cancellation up to 2 weeks in advance: 50% of the quoted price. c. Cancellation within 2 weeks: 100% of the quoted price.
- Cancellations must be made via email, or via email and SMS for short-notice cancellations.
- In case of force majeure, we will work together to find a solution, but these principles apply.
- I may cancel a session or training if absolutely necessary, and I will notify you at least 24 hours in advance.
- Ownership rights to all documents and materials you receive remain with me or the original rights holder.
- Payment deadlines begin with respect to the cancellation periods.
- I offer a money-back guarantee. If, within 1 week of a seminar, workshop, or “presentation day,” you are dissatisfied with the service provided, you do not have to pay. This will also terminate our agreement and my service. I expect you to only use this guarantee if you are genuinely dissatisfied.
- If you, as a client, fail to meet your (payment) obligations, I can terminate the contract.
- If either of us becomes insolvent or is declared bankrupt, the other party may terminate the contract.
- I am bound by confidentiality, meaning I will not share anything said during a seminar, workshop, presentation day, or coaching session with others, including the company paying for the service, unless you have given explicit consent.
- In case of a conflict, we will first try to resolve it through dialogue, possibly with a mediator. Only as a last resort will we go to court.
